A fracture liaison service, led by a specialist nurse, has been set up in one trust to offer an assessment for osteoporosis to all men and women over 50 with new fractures. The aim is to identify those who have osteoporosis because they are at greatest risk of further fractures. The service delivers strategies to reduce future fracture risk, targeted at those patients at highest risk.
